Red Light jazz is the annual jazz festival in and around the worldfamous Red Light District of Amsterdam. With the Red Light Jazz App you can check out all the locations and performances in the first weekend of June. The festival once started in 2014, initiated by local entrepreneurs, and highlights the rich tradition Amsterdam has as a true jazz city. Red Light Jazz strives to show the public a more cultural side of the Red Light District by celebrating the strong connection it has had with jazz music since the nineteen-thirties and fourties. It was around this time that jazz found it’s way over from the States, taking root in the old part of Amsterdam in clubs such as the ‘Cotton Club’ and ‘Casablanca’
